I have decided to focus on her (Finale) for the next few months. I will let you guys know how it is going. I would eventually like for her to be solid at Freestyle, not necessarily with the Carrot Sticks or anything, but just having fun. Finale is the type of horse that wants to make you happy, wants you to be content, wants to have fun, wants to be your FRIEND. Because of this easy going "I want to be your friend, your buddy, and have calm fun with you" I know that she will never be real motivated to learn subtle, subtle aids. She is not the type of horse who searches for perfection, but instead the type of horse who searches for calm content with a human, any human. With this in mind I have decided to take it easy, make it fun, keep it calm, and just enjoy every moment with her. I have looked at Finale's build before and thought "Oh, what a nice dressage horse she would make if..." because of her rounded back and neck, her natural tendency to tuck herself in underneath herself and move out.... but I know that that is not what she wants.
Every horse has their own goals, their own dreams, their own places that they want to get. They will share them with you if you listen well enough.

Can Morgans be good driving horses?
Kinda like Casper. Just a reliable trustworthy trail horse to enjoy life with. :)
Yep [: They were actually made to be woman's or children's horses, driving horses (mostly pulling the heavier loads), and racing horses. Because she is of the classic type of Morgan, she would probably be good at it.
Smiles,
